Progress on new Intaglio prints...

Progress I made on an zinc etching tonight...

The proof above has just a few extra little domes in the back, in the plate on the bottom, you can see I've almost doubled the number of them behind the main domes. I really like how the domes look like they're drawn into charcoal or graphite...

I also worked a little on this dry point, putting that texture around the top edge in. This proof is a little blown out, os the image in the center would normally be a little more clear.

New Drypoint, Amorphic teepee cover, Rainy days

I've been working to try to get over my uninspired hump all day.
I've been making this copper plate dry point on a sort of lacey looking geo-dome.

The image is really hard to see because I haven't inked it yet. You can sort of make out the scratched in lines right above the glare from my computer screen.

I took a picture of the sketches I made that illustrate the sort of look I'm going for.

I hope I can pull a proof of this by tomorrow evening. I've also been working today on crocheting a similar type of form to make a new, sculptural cover for my teepee. If you haven't see my teepee in my studio, it's currently covered in camo print. I bought it from a nice lady on craigslist and I haven't switched up the cover yet.

That camo print just won't do. Here is the bud of the crochet amophic teepee cover.

I'm still feeling a little frustrated with myself, but now I'm chalking it up to the day. It's been gray and rainy all day. I think that making things today will probably help my mood. I am my own best champion and my own worst critic.
